The Detroit Red Wings won successive Stanley Cup crowns in 1996-97 and 1997-98, and were a win away from doing it again in 2008-09 when they lost Game 7 of the Cup final series on home ice to of all teams, the Penguins.

How To Win At Pittsburgh Penguins Betting

Twice the Penguins have won successive Stanley Cup titles and in both instances the formula for success was a familiar one. After years in the hockey wilderness, the Penguins selected Mario Lemieux with the first pick of the 1984 NHL entry draft. He went on to captain the Pens, became the best player in the NHL, was surrounded by a powerful supporting cast and led Pittsburgh to Stanley Cup titles in 1990-91 and 1991-92. Lemieux won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP both springs.

After several tough seasons of missing the playoffs, the Pens were awarded the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NHL entry draft, where they selected current captain Sidney Crosby. Crosby became the captain of the team and the NHL’s best player. Surrounded by a powerful supporting cast, Sid The Kid led the Penguins to Cup crowns in 2015-16 and 2016-17, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy both springs.
